Thanks for your info. Celtic was the wrong word for me to use. But our history goes way back. It is even said the Frisians landed on England soil long before the Viking did. If you are really interested try and look up "Grutte Pier". He was a brute like a Viking. Also the Vikings and the Frisians were an alience at some point. I don't know if you can find this info on the internet, but there is a lot of information about this, wich all the children get tought in high school. It's a part of our culture and many Frisians are verry verry pround of what our ancestors did. We even had a Frisian political party a couple of years ago called "Fryslân Frei" wich stood for the independance of Friesland. But obveously didn't pull through.
I think it's quite amazing seeing what we've lost in wars that the laguage even still exists. This is why many Frisians are so pround. Most of them remind me of the southern American people in how patriotic they are and you really better not mess with most of the diehards. But it's great here. And yes, it is different to the rest of the Netherlands in a sence that it's the only part of the Netherlands that has it's own bit of culture.
